I'm so glad I found Archive of Our Own and posted my (ongoing) Indigo Park fanfic there. Even after a few weeks of not having time to work on the next chapter, I still get occasional emails, like the one I got a few moments ago, saying things like "a guest left kudos on Trains of Thought" and it's a little mood bump every time that happens β€” even more so when someone leaves an actual comment.

There's another fanfic there, Behind the Screen which I've been following since it was just a couple of chapters long which I love (it's now up to 166k words, pretty much novel length, and is supposedly going to be four times the length by the time it's finished). I keep wanting to do an audiobook-style reading of it but I have no idea if I should ask permission from the author first or just do it, or what. I do find it weird that for someone who doesn't like their own voice I do quite like reading/narrating stories and want to get better at it.

The fact that the majority of computer users have only 2 real options for browsers, Chrome and Firefox, and neither of them now takes a stand against selling user data, is the biggest selling point on us needing new options.

Google should have never been allowed to have as much browser share as it does.

Firefox should hear from every user that one of the main reasons we use their browser is they didn't sell our data.

And we need to support other browser makers. This needs to end.

#NetZero economy booming in the UK…

β€˜The net zero sector is growing three times faster than the overall UK economy, analysis has found, providing high-wage jobs across the country while cutting climate-heating emissions and increasing energy security’

#Tories and #Reform proved wrong again. But will any of this be reported in the rightwing rags and on GBeebies?

@martinvermeer @KimSJ

There is currently a ceiling on #NetZero growth…Labour understands it needs to upgrade the national grid, to ensure that new renewables can be plugged in, but also so it can cope with more homes and businesses running on electricity for warmth (heat pumps) and transport (EVs).

But what they don’t get is the scale of the skills shortage. We need to train and upskill people in every part of the country to work on renewables & retrofit.

It is disparaging, but Rachel Reeves has been very economical with the truth about her CV. I don’t like the phrase, but before we dismiss it, it’s worth looking at who was referring to her in this way and why…

!Friendica Support Is there an easy way to find the timestamp of a post? Friendica seems to only show a "friendly" amount of time ago, which isn't helpful when a post was a few weeks ago and I wanted to check what date I posted it on. I don't see any way to find out the actual date and time of a post other than (a) try to find it on a federated non-Friendica instance, or (b) dig into the database. Having, e.g., a tooltip with the precise timestamp when you hover over the "ago" time would be nice. (I'm still on Friendica 2024.03 because I'm so busy/lazy, so if this has changed since then, sorry to have wasted your time reading this.)

@Michael πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Well that's odd, because I was positive I'd tried all the themes without success. But I've just tried Frio on my 2024.03 installation, and it does indeed give timestamps in tooltips as shown in your screenshot. I must have had some kind of braino when I thought I'd tested them all, oh well. I much prefer Vier, though, which instead says "link to source" in its tooltip. Now that I know where to look, maybe I can compare the two themes, see how Frio does it, and make a patch for Vier to do the same. At least I now know it's possible! Thanks!

Up until the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, I regularly attended large scale non-violent climate protests and witnessed other groups protesting on the streets of Norwich.

Those protests have dwindled to a trickle of mostly elderly people brave enough to walk out into the city silently holding a handmade placard.

This is not democracy.

Ugh. Today did not go well. I thought it was going well, I managed to get my bike's side-stand greased so it (hopefully) won't be such a (literal) pain to manipulate with my left boot. Then I got entirely ready to go for a ride to my old home, check some things, collect post, get more stuff ready to bring, etc. Packed my bags, got all my gear on, ear plugs in, GPS running, pushed the bike out of the garage (very difficult, I noticed), did the pre-ride checks, and discovered that the chain is tight. And not just slightly tight, extremely tight. Barely any play at all. So tight it's surprising it hasn't snapped. Must be what's making the bike so stiff to push by hand. Only recently I cleaned, adjusted and lubed the chain after working the kinks out of it, and I'm sure I got it just right, certainly nowhere near as tight as it is now. But now it's far too tight. Had to abandon my ride, didn't get anything else done today, feeling annoyed and out of sorts and useless. Maybe I'll redo chain maintenance tomorrow an see if I can get it right this time. Or maybe the chain's just knackered - it is a little rusty after all. This kind of thing makes me wonder why I bother.

I redid the chain adjustment, and wow it was far too far out. I don't know what I did wrong, but the chain's kinked and rusty and horrible and I think it's going to have to be replaced. I replaced the chain and sprockets myself maybe 10 years ago so it's lasted pretty well, I expect (I've done just over 30k miles since I bought the bike, not sure how many before I replaced the chain). I don't know if I'll do it myself again or take it somewhere to get it done. I was quite pleased to have done it myself (even bending the stupid front sprocket washer like you're supposed to, which is a right pain to do), and I'm not entirely sure if I want to do it again.
